f C OIBINED SUPPORT, DEFLECTOR, AND HOUSING FOR MOTOR-DRIVEN FANS.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Asa Sonnnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Jonesboro, in-the county of Craighead and State of Arkansas, have invented'certainnew and useful Improvements in Combined Supports, Deflectors, andHousings for Motor- 'D.riven Fans, of which the followinw is a specification, reference being had to t ie accompanying; drawings.

This invention relates to an improved combined housing, support and deflector for "motor driven fans, and an object of the in :ventionfis to provide a device of this kind fjwhich is very simple, efiicient and practical in construction and portable from one place to another. Furthermore, the device is capable of being cheaply constructed, whereby it may be sold at a reasonable profit.

The invention further aims to provide a combined support, housing and deflector, whereby the motor driven-fan can be supported on a table, obscured from sight and whereby the air is deflected: laterally and upwardly so as to scatter to all parts of the room and maintain the atmosphere of the room refreshing and cool.

The invention still further aims to provide a combined deflector and support in the form of a base having a central conical or cone shaped portion axially alined with center of the shaft of the motor, whereby the air passing downwardly from the blades of the fan is deflected radially from the cone shaped portion and partially upwardly by the base thereby causing the air to circulate over the room.

While the design andconstruction at present illustrated and set forth is deemed preferable, it isobvious that as a result of a reduction of the invention to a more practical, form for commercial purposes, the invention may be susceptible to changes, and the right to thesechanges is claimed, provided tliey'are comprehended within the scope of what is claimed.

The invention comprises further features and combination of parts, as will be hereinafter set forth, shown in the drawings and claimed.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a view of a table showing the improved combined support, deflector and housing for the motor driven fan mounted upon a table. a

the combined support, deflector and housing constructed in accordance with the inventlon; and

Fig. 3 is a plan view.

Referring to these drawings, 1 designates a combined base and deflector which in the present instance is hollow, and of circular form. The central portion of the supporting base and deflector has a gradual conical or cone shaped portion 2, the center of whichisaxially concentric with the shaft 3 of a conventional form of electric motor 4. The shaft 3 of the motor has a revoluble fan 5 and as this fan rotates, the air is agitated and forced in the direction of the central conical cone shaped portion 2. The upper wall of the base merges from the conical or cone shaped portion outwardly and radially and slopes slightly upwardly and merges into a marginal raised or bulged portion 6. whlch is on the plane substantially with the height of the cone or conical shaped portion 2. The air from the fan is deflected outwardly and downwardly and then outwardly and gradually upwardly so as to circulate to all parts of the room. 1

By means of supports 7 either integral with or detachably fastened to the upper wall of the base, a hood or cover 8 is supported in a spaced superimposed position relatively to the base. Adjacent the top of the hood or cover housing is a plurality of apertures or 0 enings 9, arranged circumferentially of t e cover or housing in order to permit air to enter the housing so as to be acted upon by the revoluble fan. The electric motor 4 which may receive electric power from any suitable source of supply,

trical conductors 16 to the motor in order to control the current. Suitable supporting feet or nubs 17 are carried by the under portion of the marginal edge of the base to en gage with the surface of the table 18 to support the entire apparatus. These supporting nubs or feet are constructed of rubber or any other suitable material so as to prevent marring the surface of the table.

The invention having been set forth, what is claimed as new and useful is:

l. The combination with an inverted motor driven fan, of a housing therefor, means within the housing and engaging the casing of the motor for supporting the motor driven fan,a base on which the housing is supported. said base having a central cone provided with a bearing to receive the shaft of the motor driven fan. the lower edge of the housing, being base to permit the air frdhi the fan to pass.

spaced from the deflecting the air laterally outwardly and upwardly to circulate to all parts of a room.

2. In a device as set forth, a base having a central cone, an inverted motor driven fan having. its fan shaft engaging in a bearing of said cone, :1 housing for the fan having legs engaging the base. means connected to the wall ofthe housing. and to the motor of the fan for holding the motor driven fan concentric with the housing and. the base. the UJPQI surface of the base extendin radially and upwardly from the cone and terminating in a marginal raised portion disposed in a plane substantially parallel with the top of the cone. thereby deflecting the air radially outwardly and upwardly.

In testimon whereof l hereunto allix my signature.
